The revival of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise is in full swing, with a reboot, comics, anniversary merchandise, and more coming our way. An excellent new short has also been released on Funny or Die featuring a nice twist on the classic characters. The short has been uploaded by actor Matt Jayson (Chuck), who also stars in the 3-minute piece.

What'd you guys think? Would you want the reboot to follow a similar tone? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Long ago, the ancient wizard Zordon did battle with the evil witch Rita Repulsa. He eventually managed to defeat her in a game using five magic coins. As punishment for her loss, she was sealed in a canister on Planet Nemesis, a planet that travels close to Earth every 10,000 years. However, before being sealed away, Rita trapped Zordon in a time warp.

Millennia later, Rita and her minions escaped their prison and set out to conquer Earth. Zordon, desperate to stop her, had his assistant Alpha 5 recruit five "teenagers with attitude" (Jason Lee Scott, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, & Kimberly Ann Hart) to counter her threat. They were granted the powers of the dinosaurs, and became the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Not quite sure the continuous shot of the door slamming was the dramatic effect they were going for... especially since he opened the door immediately and let him in... I would love to see outtakes of this though..

I am all for the reboot movie. I just hope they reboot it with 6 rangers off the bat and that Tommy Oliver is good from the start. Making him evil first was ok for the show, but if were going for a movie, he needs to be evil for the first 15 min or something then good with the other Rangers.

I really cant wait for the movie! I just hope their suits aren't terrible, but I can't wait to see pacific rim type zords, I just wonder how they will control them, pacific rim style with them making the moves for the zord, or just stand there with a few sticks to move around
